# OPM Seeks FEHB and PSHB Plan Feedback

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) reported that federal employees and retirees enrolled in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program will pay an average of 10.9% more toward premiums in 2027. OPM’s Open Season is scheduled for November 9–December 14, 2026. Separately, OPM issued a September 15, 2026, request for information asking whether FEHB and Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) carriers offer the appropriate number and types of plan options; the feedback may inform future plan portfolio decisions and create opportunities for carriers serving federal employees and retirees.

- Carriers and benefits contractors can assess whether their FEHB and PSHB offerings address OPM’s questions about plan choice and variety, and decide whether to provide input through the RFI. The source identifies no response deadline or procurement contact.
- The 2027 premium increase and upcoming Open Season are relevant market context for organizations supporting federal benefits enrollment and plan selection. Open Season runs November 9–December 14, 2026.
